Baked Corn Tortilla Chips

Corn Tortilla chips was in my to-do list for a long time and I made this for Day 3 of BM #22 .To make it healthy, I decided to bake them instead of deep frying and I am quite happy with the results.I couldn't roll the tortillas too thin as I wished but it tasted great with homemade Tomato salsa.I would like to try the deep fried version once to compare them.

Slowly add lukewarm water and make a soft dough.Cover and keep aside for 15 mins.

Dust some flour and roll them to circles.

Heat a fry pan and cook both the sides till light spots appear.

Corn Tortilla chips:

Stack the corn tortillas and first cut them half to make two semi circles. Again cut each semicircle to 4 triangles as shown in the picture.I used kitchen scissors to cut them easily.

Brush both sides of the cut tortillas with little oil,sprinkle salt,chilli powder.Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for around 10-12 mins till it turns light brown and crisp.

Enjoy the baked Tortilla chips with Salsa or any dip of your choice.

Note:

The baking time differs with each oven and so keep an eye on the chips and bake accordingly.
